Building upon each of the iconic previous versions of ELITES, this fifth edition has taken the greatest leap yet and answered the wishes of so many hundreds of magicians over the years ... by incorporating Juan Tamariz's legendary MNEMONICA system into the deck! This unique blending of 'marked deck' and 'stacked deck' magic positions the DMC ELITES V5 clearly as one of the most devious and powerful weapons available today for both the amateur and professional card magician.

What does this mean in layman's terms? Well, simply put - in glancing at the back of a single playing card for LESS THAN A SECOND (and from a distance of up to SEVEN FEET) you will know not only the card's exact VALUE and SUIT, but also its precise POSITION in the deck!

Whilst many thousands of magicians will already be familiar with Phill Smith's genius 'Optical Marking System', for those who have yet to discover the secret - it is truly one of the greatest creations in the history of marked cards. With many contemporary marked decks requiring memory work, calculation or close scrutiny, the ELITES allow for a near-instant read of the card with no decoding involved - even at a great range or in poor light. We have received countless messages of thanks from magicians around the world-previously unable to make out or interpret the tiny markings on other marked decks-who can read the backs of the ELITES with ease, speed and precision.

Moreover, in spite of the markings' size and clarity they are so deviously 'hidden in plain sight' that in the early years we even had some magicians return their decks, complaining that they had been sent an unmarked version! In addition to all of this, the ELITES V5 also feature unique one-way backs AND faces - allowing a further dimension of deviousness to your card magic.

The result is a deck that was recently voted as "The Greatest Marked Deck for Magicians" by United Cardists. Incredibly clearly marked playing cards that you also can confidently hand to your audience without fear of the secret being discovered.

Printed by the iconic United States Playing Card Company on their legendary Bee stock - still the world's favourite choice - the DMC ELITES V5 will endure many hours of professional use. For the first time ever, the faces have also been upgraded to an ultra high-definition rendition of the standard USPCC faces, which also allow for minimum suspicion from your audience.

Included within each deck is a language-free instruction card that clearly explains the marking system, a Mnemonica 'crib' card (that allows you to glimpse the full Mnemonica stack with ease) and two custom DMC jokers, one with an inbuilt card reveal.

It's taken eight long years, five separate editions and many tens of thousands of decks printed... but the moment has finally come:

DMC ELITES V5: Perhaps the most powerful deck ever created for magicians.

The new DMC ELITES V4 marked deck (now in forest green) is the latest iteration in the ongoing quest by Drummond Money-Coutts to create the most powerful deck of cards available for professional magicians today. The ELITES are a unique collaboration between DMC himself (star of National Geographic's CARD SHARK and BEYOND MAGIC WITH DMC, and of the upcoming Netflix series DEATH BY MAGIC) and designer and magic creator Phill Smith - architect of the revolutionary OPTICAL MARKING SYSTEM. This brand new DMC ELITES V4 is the most versatile, nuanced and advanced version of ELITES ever created.

For the first time ever, the DMC ELITES V4 is now printed by the iconic United States Playing Card Company on their legendary Bee stock, still the world's favourite choice. The cards will endure hours upon hours of professional use, and all faces are standard USPCC faces for minimum scrutiny or suspicion from your audience.

The cards themselves feature the latest revision of the unique OPTICAL MARKING SYSTEM (OMS), a powerful 'reader' system designed specifically for the use of magicians and mentalists (as opposed to many decks designed for the gambling world). The OMS has an ingeniously hidden marking mechanic that is readable with extreme speed, at great range and even in poor light. It hides the value and suit of the card in plain sight with no decoding necessary - the back of the card literally says the value and the suit. Despite this, you can still comfortably hand the deck to a layman, safe in the knowledge that even the most critical observer would not ever suspect, let alone detect, the secret markings. So subtle, in fact, is the OMS that with the first edition of ELITES - many magicians complained that they'd been sent an unmarked version!

Drawing on the feedback from many hundreds of performers, the OMS has evolved significantly over the years, and in this version the markings are located in all four corners for the very first time - welcoming lefties into the ELITES family. A second quantum leap now allows the markings to be read from a relatively slim spread of cards on the table - or even a fan of cards held in the hands. Finally, the deck also now features a very clear, one-way marking system, allowing for delayed reads and unlocking a whole new realm of methods. Each deck also comes with an instruction card that explains the markings visually - with no language limitations for international performers.

DMC ELITES V4: the greatest marked deck in a generation - now greater than ever.

DISCLAIMER: These cards have been created with professional magic and mentalism in mind. Cheating at games through any means of duplicity - be it skillful or through specialised equipment - is unethical, immoral, and illegal. The creators, manufacturers and distributors of the ELITES range of playing cards cannot accept any responsibility for the unethical abuse or misuse of these playing cards.

Having travelled the world for years in search of the perfect card finish, the fruits of DMC's extensive travels are finally here ... the ELITES V5: PHANTOM FINISH.

Using a slightly thicker stock, this finish is both more robust and long-lasting than many of the slimmer cardistry decks of today, and promises a much firmer handling of the cards. When coupled with Phill Smith's world-famous 'Optical Marking System' (which now includes full four-corner markings, Juan Tamariz's genius MNEMONICA numberings and a unique one-way back design), we believe this is truly the most powerful, comprehensive and usable deck ever created for magicians. The deck even arrives in Mnemonica stack, ready to go right out of the box!

With a LIMITED 1st EDITION run of just 1000 decks (printed in cobalt blue for the very first time), this deck marks a pivotal transition in the timeline of ELITES playing cards - now deck of choice to many thousands of professional magicians worldwide and voted by United Cardists as 'The Greatest Deck for Magicians' available in the world today.

Included within each deck is a language-free instruction card that clearly explains the marking system, a two way ‘crib’ card (that allows you to glimpse the full Mnemonica stack with ease) and two custom DMC jokers, one with an inbuilt card reveal. As with the previous ELITES V5s, the card faces have also been upgraded to an ultra high-definition rendition of the standard faces, and also feature a uniquely brilliant one-way marking system on the cards' indices themselves.
